The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

Ge Baozhu was caught off guard and had tea sprayed all over her face, and she screamed in anger.

The bowl of jelly and spicy strips, which still had half of its contents remaining, suffered the consequences.

She stayed here with great anticipation, because she originally wanted to see what Xu Yingtao looked like. But when she saw her, she found that there was nothing special about her. Moreover, she was so humiliated that she couldn't stay there for a moment longer.

Without waiting for the maid to wipe it for her, Ge Baozhu raised her hand and wiped it randomly, then ran out with her eyes blurred by water vapor.

Unexpectedly, her long skirt was dragging, and she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt while running. With a panicked scream, she fell straight forward.

In front of it stood a copper incense burner with a sharp tip.

When Mr. Ge saw this, his face turned pale as paper. He was about to rush forward to rescue his beloved daughter, but he saw that the thin girl, who was half a head shorter than her daughter, grabbed the back of his fat daughter's neck with one hand, and pulled her up easily and steadily as if she was lifting a chicken.

Ge Baozhu thought she was doomed, but unexpectedly she was rescued, and the one who rescued her was a little girl younger than her.

"Wow, you are so strong!" Ge Baozhu looked at Xie Li with admiration in her eyes.

If she had that much strength, she would have chased Nanny Zhang away long ago. She wouldn't have suffered for two months and lost so much weight.

Fortunately, I have made up for it all during this period of time.

Xie Li has always had a clear understanding of herself. She was neither proud nor modest when she heard this. She just said in a very normal tone: "Everyone says so."

Ge Baozhu had no playmates since she was little. When she saw her little savior, she felt an inexplicable affection for him. She took Xie Li's hand and said, "Let's go to my yard to play. There's a swing there."

Xie Li's heart was slightly moved when she heard this, but she did not agree immediately. Instead, she subconsciously looked at Xu Yingtao and Jiang to seek their opinions.

Xu Yingtao smiled and nodded: "Go ahead, we'll call you when we get home later."

Xie Li happily ran away with her new friend whom she had just met for two minutes.

After recovering from the shock, Mr. Ge finally came to his senses. Because this family had saved his daughter's life, his attitude softened a little.

But he couldn't help but frown and said, "Do you know that privately making koji and selling it is a serious crime?"

He didn't even doubt the truthfulness of what Xu Yingtao said.

After all, he didn't believe that anyone would be so bold as to come to his house to cheat him.

Xu Yingtao smiled and nodded: "Of course I have heard of it, but I don't use this wine yeast to make a profit, and I don't use it to make wine. I just want to make some wine yeast to give to you, am I guilty of this?"

Some things don't need to be made too clear.

A person who wants to climb the ladder of advancement by arranging his children's marriages must have ambitions.

She only needed to give one or two precise hints and Mr. Ge would definitely understand what she meant.

Sure enough, Mr. Ge narrowed his eyes.

It must be said that he was extremely moved.

His winery sells wine on behalf of the government, so he knows the profits best.

Although a pound of grain can only produce half a pound of wine at most, the price of half a pound of wine is dozens or even hundreds of times the price of the grain.

No one can help but be jealous of the huge profits.

But he was not stupid. Who would be so attentive to others for no reason? Since the woman in front of him was willing to give him so much wealth, she must have something to ask of him.

Mr. Ge shook his sleeves and pretended not to care: "Tell me, what do you want?"

This is what Xu Yingtao was waiting for.

She bowed and told the story of all the grievances between herself and Zui Xiang Lou, and finally stated her demands.

"I just want you to make decisions for my family."

Mr. Ge raised his eyebrows.

He thought that the woman wanted to partner with him in selling alcohol, but he didn't expect that she just wanted to use him as a backer.

Of course, he had no reason to refuse such a profitable business.

However, the fact that she could make koji was just the woman's one-sided statement, and he would not promise anything before seeing the finished product of the koji.

Xu Yingtao naturally understood that when asking someone to do something for you, you have to show sincerity.

She immediately promised that she would serve the wine yeast with both hands in three days.

After leaving Gejiazhuang, everyone except Xie Li, Jiang and Xie Bai were all numb.

Not to mention making koji, now even if Xu Yingtao said she could fly, they would believe it.

Jiang didn't even want to ask where she learned the skill of making koji, because the answer she would get would definitely be that her mother taught her.

So why bother doing this?

Xie Li kept chattering along the way, sharing her experiences in Gejiazhuang, such as how big Ge Baozhu's yard was, how fun the swing was, and how delicious the snacks Ge Baozhu treated her to were, but she only ate a small piece because she was embarrassed, and so on.

The family returned to the village leisurely. Xu Yingtao keenly noticed that although Xie Bai and Jiang were still chatting with her as usual, they were obviously more tense than before.

How could she not know that they were pretending to be relaxed so as not to cause her any more trouble or stress?

She naturally appreciated it.

So, at noon she did not mind the trouble and made glutinous rice for the whole family.

Her glutinous rice is not simply made by washing the glutinous rice and then steaming it in a steamer.

Instead, after the glutinous rice is steamed, it is mixed with special soy sauce and lard, and then a spoonful of glutinous rice is scooped out and spread evenly on the banana leaves. Crispy whistles, watercress, bean sprouts, fried peas, pickled radish, red chili oil, sesame sugar powder, and chopped green onions are added in turn, and another spoonful of glutinous rice is pressed on top. The banana leaves are folded together to form a round rice ball.

Not only does it look rosy and shiny, tempting your appetite, but it also makes you cry and can't stop eating it.

too delicious!

At first, the glutinous rice has a salty, fragrant and sticky taste. After a slight chew, the crispy fragrance and the sour and sweet taste of the radish instantly bloom on the tip of the tongue. The sesame sugar powder also adds sweetness to the glutinous rice, but it does not overshadow the main flavor. The crispy fried peas and mixed bean sprouts add a rich taste, and the spicy taste of the red oil amazes the taste buds.

Xu Yingtao took big bites of the rice ball. She felt that every bite was a real enjoyment on her tongue and she couldn't stop eating.

Xie Bai came close to Xu Yingtao and asked in a gentle voice, "Sister-in-law, these rice balls are really delicious. Should we do this for a living in the future?"

Although he was smiling along the way, his hair almost turned white with worry.

But at this moment he inexplicably developed infinite confidence. His sister-in-law had so many good skills, no one could block her way.

"That won't do." Xu Yingtao refused without even thinking, "Calculate it yourself. From the time I started cooking until we started eating, how many hours did it take?"

Xie Bai roughly estimated and said, "It's almost an hour and a half."

"That's right. This is just for our family. If we sell it for money, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep and will just fry crispy whistles all night."

The so-called crispy whistle is a famous snack from a place in the southwest of her time and space. It is made with fatty pork and various condiments. It tastes sour, sweet, salty and fragrant, with a crisp texture. It is a perfect dish when eaten with glutinous rice.

Xie Bai said firmly: "In the future, I will get up early to help my sister-in-law fry. I can do it."

Xu Yingtao laughed: "Don't do that. Look at your head. You are one year older than Xie Bao, but you are not as tall as him. If I really wake you up in the middle of the night, you will have to blame me if you don't grow taller and can't get married. And what's wrong with you? We have such good food, why don't you grow taller?"
